C
They say that there’s a heaven
F
Where all good people go
C
And all the angels live there.
G
At least that’s what I’m told.
C
I know I should believe it
F
Because the Good Book never lies.
C
But there’s an angel in the hills of Tennessee
G C
And I’ve seen her with my own eyes.
CHORUS:
G
How did you know
F C
That I needed a friend?
G
I never dreamed
F C
That the minute I walked in
Am
My life would be changed
C G F
And my soul would be set free.
C F
There’s an angel in Knoxville
C
Watching over me.
C
An empty room on a Thursday night;
F
I just wanted a drink or two.
C
Then she came and sat beside me;
G
A table with a view.
C
And I could not believe it
F
When she got up to dance
C
‘Cause she spread her angel wings out
G C
And I thought she’d never land.
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
G
And she flys
C
So high.
F G
My angel flys so high!
C
So I suppose that there’s a heaven
F
Where everything’s made of gold.
C
Maybe someday I’ll see it
G
When I get too old.
C
And all the angels will open their arms
F
And wings to welcome me.
C F
Except for the one still here on Earth
G C
Flying in Tennessee.
REPEAT CHORUS
